Bullshit. You have to understand things, and particularly understand how things work, if you want to change them without making a hash of everything. Any programmer should know that by now.

There's a very important distinction between "ought" statements and "is" statements. Getting offended is a fallacy if it causes you to miss that distinction.

In practice, if you're blinded by outrage, you won't even be able to judge what to be outraged at, and then you'll be played for a fool.
